Matthew 15:26

Observe here, the seeming severity of Christ to this poor woman; he calls her not. woman but. dog: and as it were spurns her from his feet with an harsh repulse. Did ever so severe. word drop from those mild lips? What shall we say? Is the lamb of God turned. lion? That. woman in distress, imploring pity, yea,. good woman, and an humble supplicant, should be thus rated out of Christ's presence for. dog!

Learn hence, that Christ puts the strongest faith of his own children upon the severest trials; the trial had never been so sharp, if her faith had not been so strong. Usually, where God gives much grace, he tries grace much.
